The discovery of the law books in the temple and the subsequent reforms are associated with King Josiah of Judah. This event is described in 2 Kings 22-23 and 2 Chronicles 34-35. King Josiah initiated religious reforms in Judah, and during the repairs to the temple, the high priest Hilkiah found a book of the law (likely a portion of the Torah or Pentateuch). This discovery played a significant role in Josiah's efforts to restore proper worship and adherence to the laws of God.
